I think is the same we have here, I had this car for 8 years, done 250.000Kms without any problem and was really fast :
Mine actually was 9N, with 101hp, the next 9N3 had 130hp...

I'm OFF-TOPIC now, but I have a folder full of pics like this: every powered vehicle should be captured at its max performance...
Look at this: it's a little scooter that I usually load on my RV for quick travels, it's a Peugeot Ludix, 0.05 liters, the Italian code limits this veicle at 45Km/h max, but removing a little washer from the variator.........

The 1.9 PD engine only came out with the 9N3 down here and it only had 100bhp (74kW). Apparently, they can be remapped to reliably produce 130bhp (100kW)

It's not fuel dump, it's when the engine labors in too low a gear and pumps more fuel into the engine to try and accelerate more.
I have a 12.5 GTI and this is what I also experience. I accelerate and hear the engine struggle, the telltale 'crackle' (for want of a better word) that it needs to drop down a gear, then off she goes leaving a big cloud of smoke obscuring the car behind. I have also noticed the smoke from a standstill where there is a slight pause in acceleration then off she goes like the clappers and when I look in the rear view mirror theres the smoke. I do have high oil usage, I dont know if this is related though.
Generally though, besides its bad smoking habit and high oil use, she runs well. Its much more enjoyable to drive than the wifes boat err Mondeo.

To the best of my knowledge, the following vehicles (within the Volkswagen Group) were installed with the 1.9 PD TDI in Australia:

Since the above discussion was about 9N Polos, I would have thought that it was obvious that the context of my comment related to the AXR engine in the 9N3 being the sole 1.9 PD variant amongst the 9N Polos that made it down under (to Australia by the official distributor)

Just before I was about to post my list, I re-read the thread and only then did I realise what the context was, haha.
Oh well... but having spent 10 minutes on it, I decided to post it anyway - who knows, maybe it will be of use to someone.

My MY13 CAV engined Gti has started doing this also, takeoff in 'D', car short shifts straight away into 2nd, light throttle application, detonation 'crackle' noise, then smoke out the back. My smoke is is mainly blue (oil). I've had oil consumption 'issues' since service muppets changed timing chain a few months ago (maybe 5 lt. in 4,000k's). I'm tempted to ring them up and tell them whats happening, but I know all they are going to say is 'bring it in, sorry all our courtesy cars are currently taken, please catch the bus for two weeks while we find the time to figure out what's wrong and then forget to call you to let you know whats going on for an additional three weeks.' I'm going to keep driving it until it fails spectacularly in a cloud of blue smoke and pistons punching through crankcases. If i take it to them now they will just bodge it up again and give it back. It's alarming how quickly its burning through the oil in its sump, detonation ins't a nice noise and I'm afraid the the damage has already been done.
